Newly Acquired Ivory-hilt Datu Kris

Thanks Fernando. I feel lucky to have won this one and at a relatively moderate price at that as this type usually commands a four figure price tag. It is also quite remarkable that it has only minimal losses to the filigree and the ivory pommel is fully intact. The blade has a significant chip to one side though.

Very nice 20th century piece, I am green with envy!

Regards,

Thanks Detlef, it is a nice piece indeed and a bit hard to get in such a fine condition.
